Delicious Classic Steak Diane Recipe + Creamy Cognac Sauce
Impress your family and guests with this delicious classic steak Diane recipe with a tasty mushroom sauce that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Steak Diane is a delicious dish consisting of pan-seared steak that is served with a tasty cream sauce. The history of this classic recipe is a little murky, but what we do know is that it became popularized in New York City in the mid-1900s.
It was a dish that was most often made tableside by the waiters but over the years as rent increased and more tables were put into restaurants, it became unfeasible to continue to do so. Steak Diane does have some variations to it and in the past 3-4 decades you’ll notice the addition of mushrooms. I believe it’s a great addition and adds some more girth to the recipe.
ingredients for this recipe:
• 2 pounds of beef tenderloin sliced into 4-ounce portions
• 3 tablespoon oil
• 10 medium-sized sliced cremini or button mushrooms or both
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• ½ peeled and small diced shallot
• 3 finely minced cloves of garlic
• ¼ cup cognac
• 1 ½ cups beef stock
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Dijon sauce
• 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
• 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
• sea salt and pepper to taste
• sliced green onions for garnish
Serves 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Procedures:
1. Season the beef on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Next, add the oil to a large sauté pan over high heat and heat until it is smoking.
3. Add in the beef and sear for 2 minutes on 1 side and then flip over and sear for 1 more minute to achieve a rare to medium-rare internal temperature.
4. Remove the steaks and set them aside.
5. In the same hot pan add in the mushrooms and sauté for 6-8 minutes over high heat until well browned.
6. Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan and on the other side of the pan sauté the shallots and garlic in the butter for 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
7. Mix everything together and then remove the pan from the cooktop and add in the cognac.
8. Return the pan to the burner over high heat and flambe until all of the alcohol is cooked off.
9. Pour in the beef stock and cook over medium heat until the amount of liquid is reduced by one-half.
10. Finish by pouring in the cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, parsley, and lemon juice and stir until combined.
11. Place the beef back in the pan and cook over low to medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the beef is warmed.
12. Serve the sauce with the steak and garnish with sliced fresh chives.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is finished cooking. If you have to keep it warm over very low heat for 15-20 minutes before serving.
How to Reheat: Place the steak and sauce in a medium-size pan and cook over low to medium heat until warmed. You can also heat in the microwave until hot.
How to Store: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It will freeze covered for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
There really is no substitute for the cognac other than brandy. The only thing you could use is white wine instead, which will not flambe. If you cannot have alcohol at all, simply skip this procedure.
You can use wild mushrooms such as maitake, shiitake, or even oyster mushrooms in this recipe if you’d like.
It is ok to sub out the beef stock with chicken stock. If you do not have access to either then double to heavy cream amount and cook it until thickened before adding in the Worcestershire, Dijon, and lemon juice.
You may need to sear the beef in batches if your pan is not big enough.
If you like steak that is more well done, please sear longer or cook longer when reheating in the sauce.

****RECIPE, SERVES TWO***
2 steaks about 1/2 lb (227g), tenderloin or strip would be good
1/2 lb (227g) mushrooms
1 shallot
3-4 cloves garlic
1 lb (454g) asparagus
1 lemon
fresh parsley for garnish
stock (about a cup)
cognac or other brown liquor (can skip)
cream
tomato paste
mustard
Worcestershire sauce
oil
salt
pepper
Trim the mushrooms, slice them and reserve for later.
Peel and finely chop the shallot and garlic. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Put half the shallot and garlic on a sheet pan along with the asparagus and toss to coat everything in oil, salt and pepper. Reserve for later.
Trim anything inedible off of the steaks — they'll be covered in sauce so you won't be able to eat around big chunks of fat or connective tissue. Coat with oil, salt and pepper.
Put the steaks in a very hot pan, along with any large trimmings you might want to use to flavor the sauce. Sear the steaks as well as you can, being careful to keep the heat from getting too hot and burning the brown stuff on the bottom of the pan.
When pink juice starts to push to the surface, that's a good sign the steaks are approaching medium rare — when in doubt, pull the steaks out, because they're going to cook a little more later inside the sauce. Scraps can stay in the pan at this point to help flavor the sauce.
With the steaks out, put in the mushrooms with a little more oil if they need it to brown. As soon as you have some color on the mushrooms, stir in the remaining shallot and garlic along with a squeeze of tomato paste.
When everything in the pan is brown, deglaze with cognac (turn off the flame if using a gas stove so as to not ignite the alcohol). Reduce the cognac until almost dry. Pour in the stock, along with a squeeze of mustard and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Reduce until almost dry.
This is would be a good time to put the asparagus under a broiler/grill at maximum heat — they'll only take a few minutes to brown and go tender.
Once the sauce has reduced to a sticky glaze, take out any beef scraps you may have left in the pan.
Stir in as much cream as you want to finish the sauce — it'll have to simmer for a few minutes before it fully thickens. Taste for seasoning — it should be a little too salty/strong on its own. Consider adding salt, pepper, Worcestershire or a little lemon juice.
Return the steaks to the pan along with any resting juices, coat them in the sauce and let them reheat for a couple minutes. Stir in fresh parsley at the last second. Serve smothered in sauce alongside the asparagus.
